Default Replacing steering wheel

I need to replace my steering wheel. Too many cleanings after dirty hands.

Is there an aftermarket steering wheel that will go right in without alot of adaptation. Or, if an adapter is needed, one that is a direct fit.

Grant, Momo, ..... ?

Probably going to go with a plain old black wheel rather than a light grey. Too easy to get dirty.

Lots of choices from the catalogues... from Ecklers to Zip... they make em in every color GM did... plus wood grip if that's what you want. All are direct bolt-ons. :cool:

You can get ahold of Chuck pelton, who does all of the re-wrapping for the vendors. he can sell you a corvette one in whatever color you want, if you want to stay with GM stuff
